Aid initiative #Not only

Shortly after the outbreak of the Corona crisis in March 2020, churches and local (aid) organizations, including the Protestant Church in the Netherlands and Kerk in Actie, joined forces in the Nietalleen.nl platform. This platform connects clients from all over the country to local aid initiatives in their area.

People who have a practical request for help or would like to have contact and a listening ear can call the national number 0800-1322. They are then linked to the local coordinators. In Krimpen aan den IJssel you can also mail to: nietalleenkrimpen@outlook.com . More and more people are affected by the consequences of the corona crisis, but find it difficult to ask for help. We live in a time when we want to be able to do everything ourselves and do not quickly ask for help. It may seem like a sign of weakness, but it is courageous if you dare to depend on others and admit that you need help. And know that the helpers do this with love!

In the dark months of the year, we want to help lower the threshold to ask for help and bring this initiative back to the spotlight. The online Christmas night service of the ArkRank / IJsseldijkkerk is dedicated to the theme: Not Alone. After Christmas we hang up promotional posters and we want to hand out cards. And we need your help with that! If you attend a service or other activity at the church, you can bring some promotional cards to pass on to others. We also want to try to pass these tickets through the bus at the senior apartments in Krimpen. If you would like to help with that, please contact us. And if you want to offer help, we would also like to hear that!

Decade Dick: Almost all participants passed the traffic exam

Freek Bredius was a guest in Decennium Dick on behalf of Safe Traffic Netherlands department Krimpen aan den IJssel. He was able to tell us that 421 children participated in the practical traffic exam today. All but five children passed. Congratulations to all! The children who did not make it turned out to have cycled on the route with their hands free. The route started and ended at the Tuyter. Mayor Martijn Vroom was present to officially start the first class. 7.3 Kilometers was cycled and the children of the groups 7 and 8 passed all kinds of difficult intersections and traffic situations in Krimpen aan den IJssel. What was very annoying and difficult was that there have been young people who removed or turned around signs from the route. In addition, some plates are irreparably damaged. It was the first time that this happened on the day of the traffic test. Your browser does not support this audio player. You can download the file . Also in this edition of Decennium Dick a...

Man survives eighteen days in Australian wilderness

A 58-year-old man who had been missing in the Australian wilderness for 18 days has been found safe and sound. Robert Weber survived by drinking water from a dam and eating mushrooms. Police have announced. The man was last seen on January 6, after leaving a hotel in Kilkivan, Queensland, about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane. According to police, Weber got stuck on a road unknown to him. "He then stayed close to his car for three days, along with his dog, until he ran out of water," police said in a statement. "He left on foot and got lost." The man stayed near a dam, where he survived by drinking water from the dam and eating mushrooms. He slept on the floor. His dog has disappeared.

Renewed culture agenda in development!

Behind the scenes, a lot of work is being done to develop a renewed culture agenda for shrinking; SHRINKING AGENDA. A site for enthusiasts (young and old) of sports and cultural activities and outings in Krimpen aan den IJssel. We hope to launch the new website ( www.uitagendakrimpen.nl ) at the start of the new sports and culture season in September. Until then, the current cultural agenda will continue to be filled with online cultural activities and, after cautious relaxation, also some physical cultural activities. www.cultuuragendakrimpen.nl The current culture agenda and soon Uitagenda Krimpen is managed by Synerkri in collaboration with the municipality of Krimpen aan den IJssel, sports and cultural partners.
